Avon schools welcomes Joe Firment Chevrolet Stadium

AVON — The Avon High School football stadium now has a new name.
As of July 8, the official title of the stadium is the Joe Firment Chevrolet Stadium.
Avon Local School District announced a long-term partnership with Joe Firment Chevrolet for the naming rights to the Avon High School football stadium.
“Joe Firment Chevrolet has a long-standing relationship of supporting the Avon Local Schools,” said Avon Local Schools superintendent Mike Laub. “This new partnership is further evidence of their valued commitment to the district and to the Avon community.”
The deal is potentially worth up to $300,000 to the district, at $30,000 per year on a five-year agreement with a mutual option for an additional five years.
“Our district is very appreciative of the relationship we’ve formed with Joe Firment Chevrolet,” Laub said. “We are excited to have them as the sponsor of our stadium.
“The revenues received from this sponsorship will allow us to do so many great things for the students of Avon. This is money we don’t have to ask our taxpayers for. That is incremental to our operating budget.”
Joe Firment Chevrolet is the longest-standing dealership in Lorain County. The Firment family has owned the dealership since 1981,
“It’s a privilege to partner with Avon Local Schools,” said Jim Firment, vice president of the Joe Firment Chevrolet. “It’s our way of making a commitment to the community we serve and a decision we make from the heart.”
Jim Firment’s brother, Paul Firment, also a vice president, said, “Avon has been great to us. It’s a win-win.”
